Please do not ask the Doctor to send answers bj mail.—Editor.] A Question on Breeding. I got a queen last summer and her bees were all fine look- ing ones, and I reared several queens from her. Oneof mv ni'igh- bors reared several from her. and 1 do not know wliether he got a queen that seemed jiurely mated or not. but I got onlv one, and he said that all of his that he had looked at were just as I said mine was. Some of my liees had not a band oil them, and some were nice bees, from the same queen. Only one seemed purely mated: her bees were all dandies, and she was the only yellow queen that liatched from the queen I got. Is there such a thing as a bee cropping out of an old cross of 20 years back ? I did not rear any other queens last summer hat were impurely mated. Iowa. Answer.—x\tavisni. or breeding-back, is well known to exist in the human race and other animals, and I know of no reason why it might not exist among bees. But going back 20 years would be going back anywhere from seven to twentv or more generations, and that would be going back pretty far. Neither is there anything, I think, in the case you mention that cannot be accounted for without any atavism. Sowing Sweet Clover for Cattle, Bees and Seed. 1.
